Chapter 3806 A Story

"Why isn't he wearing shoes?"

The old man blurted out.



"yes."

Xiao Xiao smiled.

"Why doesn't it wear shoes?"

"I don't know either."

"Maybe it likes to be barefoot."



elder:……

"Hey, why don't you know?"

The old man was very confused.

"Aren't you friends?"

"Didn't you ask him?"



Xiao Xiao shook his head slightly.

"It looks very comfortable."

Then it doesn't matter if you don't wear shoes.



ah……

The old man blinked his eyes in confusion.

"……oh."

"That's it..."



"...It's wearing a white shirt..."

Xiao Xiao continued to describe to the old man.

"Blue jeans..."



"...It holds a pipa in its arms."

Xiao Xiao ended his description.



lute?

Hearing the pipa again, the old man was slightly stunned.

He glanced at the young man opposite.

The young man smiled at him.

But he did not smile at the young man.

The old man's face looked a little strange.

He looked at the candy man that had formed in his hand.

fell into silence.



"Old man."

Xiao Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly.

"Any questions?"

Logically speaking, the candy man has been made, and the old man should give him the candy man.

At this time, the old man seemed to have forgotten his existence and fell into his own world.



The old man was horrified.

The raised eyes revealed a hasty gaze.



Xiao Xiao blinked.

He is...

"Feel sorry."

"Did I scare you?"



"ah……"

The old man responded somewhat panicked.

After a few meaningless modal words, the old man managed to regain his composure.

"sorry."

"I……"



"Don't worry."

Xiao Xiao smiled.

"Can you tell me what happened?"

"Is there something wrong with this sugar man?"

The old man's abnormality was after the completion of the sugar man.

so…...

Xiao Xiao looked at the candy man in the old man's hand.

There is no doubt about the old man's craftsmanship.

This candy man did a great job.

It really looks like a Pipa ghost.



The Pipa Ghost's nose was almost touching the candy man who looked like himself.



A hint of smile flashed in Xiao Xiao's eyes.

It seems that Pipa Ghost likes it very much.

Then he would be relieved.

It’s just the old man’s condition…

A trace of doubt arose in Xiao Xiao's heart.



"that……"

The old man looked down at the candy man in his hand.

The old man's hands were shaking a little.

The clenched fingers showed a bit of paleness.



"Are you okay?"

Xiao Xiao looked concerned.

"How about you sit next to me for a while?"

Xiao Xiao stepped forward.

He held the old man's arm.

I took the old man to sit beside the flower bed under the big tree.



The old man did not refuse.

He looked dazed.

When the real feeling came from below, the old man's wandering heart seemed to have returned to its original place.



"Old man, drink some water."

Xiao Xiao handed the water glass to the old man.



The old man took it subconsciously.

After taking a sip, I realized...

"Why……"

Isn't this his water glass?



"I got it from your stall."

The young man's words cleared up the old man's doubts.

oh oh.

The old man nodded.

He just said...

Why does this young man have a water glass exactly like his, and it’s still full of herbal tea?



After a few sips of herbal tea, the old man's mood became much calmer.

Reflecting on his previous behavior, the old man smiled sheepishly at the young man.

"I'm sorry, young man."

"I lost my temper."

The old man smiled bitterly.

He was really embarrassed in front of this kid.



"No."

Xiao Xiao shook his head.

"Are you okay?"

Xiao Xiao looked at the old man's face.



"fine."

The old man shook his head.

He looked at the candy man in his hand, with some emotion on his face.

"I am……"

"for you."

The old man suddenly handed the candy man in his hand to the young man beside him.

"Fortunately it wasn't damaged."



Xiao Xiao took the candy man from the old man's hand.



The Pipa Ghost sitting next to Xiao Xiao stretched his neck and looked eagerly at the candy man in Master Xiao Xiao's hand.



"do you know?"

Seeing the young man taking the candy man, the old man smiled.

"This candy man brings back memories from a long time ago..."



Um?

Xiao Xiao raised his eyebrows slightly.

"You mean..."



The old man looks at the candy man in the young man's hand.

His eyes became a bit distant.

"I once saw someone who looked very similar to your friend..."

"A boy of fifteen or sixteen years old, thin, clean, pale...and not wearing any shoes."

"yes."

The old man knocked on his head, with a look of annoyance on his face.

"I didn't even think of it when you said barefoot..."

It's obviously such a distinctive feature.

Maybe it’s another characteristic that’s more obvious…

"...He also held a pipa in his arms."



"Exactly like this candy man..."

The old man opened his eyes in amazement.

"If it weren't impossible..."

It was decades ago that he met that boy...

How could he be this young man's friend?

"I almost feel like what I'm seeing is your friend..."



Xiao Xiao's eyebrows arched slightly.

"Is it such a coincidence?"

Is it a real coincidence?

Or...what the old man saw was...

Xiao Xiao prefers the latter.

After all, being barefoot and holding a pipa... are so iconic.



"yes."

The old man stroked the water glass in his hand and spoke in a low voice.

"What a coincidence..."

"So many years have passed..."

"I have forgotten what happened back then..."

"But this candy man looks so much like the boy in my memory..."

"So it still brought back memories that I thought I had forgotten."

"It's also because they are so similar..."

The old man smiled sheepishly at the young man.

"I was a little scared."

He almost thought that the boy from back then appeared in front of him again.

However, his temples were already gray.

And that boy...

He still looked like the young boy he remembered.



The old man took a sip of herbal tea.

The refreshing tea made the old man squint his eyes slightly.

"Young man, do you have time to tell me a story?"



"have."

Xiao Xiao raised the corners of his mouth.



The young man's straightforward answer brought a smile to the old man's face.

"It's rare to remember..."

That deeply buried memory came to light again.

The yellowish background has regained its bright tones.

"This friend of yours looks so much like the boy I met back then..."

"This is also fate."

The old man smiled.

"You are the best audience for that memory of mine."



Xiao Xiao smiled.

"That's my luck."

If you come to buy candy, you can also get an extra story.

It is also very likely that it is a story related to the Pipa Ghost.



The smile on the old man's face deepened.

Soon, as he told the story, the look on the old man's face gradually became trance-like.
